Rose plant-olyciso variety

#The object of the present invention is to provide a new variety of rose plant of the Floribunda Class which is distinguished from prior varieties by the following characteristics:

#(a) from the physical point of view, the rose plant with light green wood has bicolor semi-double flowers which are china pink on the inside and whitish-cream suffused with china rose on the outside; and

#(b) from the biological point of view, the rose plant has vigorous vegetation, produces flowers in abundance and particularly is amenable to greenhouse forcing, is not particularly susceptible to diseases, and forms long lasting flowers comprising petals which detach cleanly.

#The accompanying photograph shows typical specimens of plant parts and foliage of the present variety obtained from two-year old plants growing on Rosa indica understock during June in a greenhouse at Cap d'Antibes, France. The color shown is as nearly true as it is reasonably possible to make the same in a color illustration of this character.

#FIG. 1 is a specimen of young shoot;

#FIG. 2 is a specimen of a bud before the opening of the sepals;

#The plants described were grown on Rosa indica understock during June in a greenhouse at Cap d'Antibes, France.

#The chart utilized in the identification of the colors is that of The Royal Horticultural Society (R.H.S. Colour Chart).

#Class: Floribunda.
